Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balms - New Shades for Spring!

Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balms ($6.99) are some of my absolute favorite lip balms for dry, chapped lips. Burt's has introduced four new shades for spring to the already existing line of five shades.

L-R : Sweet Violet, Caramel Daisy, Blush Orchid

I have three of four shades here and all of them are sheer, glossy and super moisturizing. Sweet Violet is the most pigmented of them all and looks like a very light, plum on my lips. If you have pigmented lips, Sweet Violet is a nice, everyday shade for a soft wash of color. Caramel Daisy and Blush Orchid on the other hand are a tad more sheer, but just as moisturizing.

The packaging is quite nice and the lip balm itself is tiny and easy to tuck into your purse. The texture is a tad waxy going on bare lips, but settles down well in a few minutes. The color fades off after about 2 hours and there's enough moisture left behind to keep lips conditioned for hours together. These balms have a slick, slightly glossy finish, so be sure to blot off any excess while using them under lipsticks. There's a slight, fruity smell that dissipates quickly. As someone with extremely dry lips in winter, I absolutely love these and can't recommend them enough!

Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balms are 100% Natural and the packaging is made from reusable and recyclable paper tube with approximately 60% Postconsumer recycled content.

Available at all at select natural, grocery, drug, and mass retailers, and via www.burtsbees.com.
